Overview

  • Francisco Lindor's 250th career home run sealed a 5-4 walk-off victory for the Mets over the Cardinals, marking their second consecutive win.
  • Tomoyuki Sugano delivered a career-best performance for the Orioles in their first series win of 2025, but momentum stalled with an 8-3 loss to the Reds the following game.
  • The Cubs outslugged the Diamondbacks 13-11 in a historic eighth inning where both teams combined for 16 runs, the most ever in that frame at Wrigley Field.
  • Baltimore's Cade Povich struggled in his latest start, surrendering three home runs and five walks, raising concerns about the Orioles' pitching depth.
  • The Guardians bounced back from two losses with a 10-7 win over the Pirates, fueled by Bo Naylor's three hits and three RBIs in a season-high 14-hit game.
